I'm sorry to disagree with you, Dan, but FileMaker II does not retain the
original sort order after a find.  When you find records, the records that
are found show up in the order that they were entered into the database.
What may be happening is that this order happens to be the same as the
order that you have sorted them by, but in general, this does not happen.
